The Four Noble Truths
Although “Buddhism” refers to various sets of religious beliefs and
practices, there are four important truths or doctrines (dharma) expressed in all the streams of Buddhist thought.
#1 “Suffering”“Life is suffering.”
physical and psychological pain. Lack of satisfaction.
Disappointment. Suffering is inevitable. It is a general claim about all human life,
not a claim that every moment is suffering.
#2 “Attachment”
The origin of suffering is attachment to or the desire
for things, Materialism Desire + Materialism = suffering. Desire is closely connected to individuality. No individual can be free
from desire.
#3 “Dispassion”
Teaches to Remove DESIRE! If desire is the cause of suffering, remove desire and you remove
suffering. Absolute freedom from
desire is called Nirvana.
**This is roughly equivalent to Moksha in Hinduism.**
#4 “The PathThe path to Nirvana is in
actions and thoughts that lie in between excessive
materialism and excessive self-denial. This is
expressed in the eightfold path
toward enlightenment.
